Looks nice - thanks for doing this for us.

Thanks for posting these, it's much appreciated!

Neither of the two new houses really stand out to me, but this one is pretty interesting, and I can't wait to see what people do with it!

Now, back to fervently begging the Eight Divines for a proper Dwemer home or medium-sized cave home in Blackreach...

Thank you for sharing! I want both houses, they are awesome

This one looks workable. Probably going to:

1. Nord the place up with furniture, rune monoliths, statues, wooden beams etc.
2. Use the dockside building as a house and the rear one as a stable and warehouse.
3. Build a large fantasy viking longship in the water.

My first thought on seeing this is - now that we have a proper blacksmiths home, it's the perfect time to introduce all the weapon and armor furnishings we have been requesting forever. The models are in the game, they are everywhere - and honestly, what is a Forgemasters Hall without the artisan's goods??

Thank you! I was coming to the forum section specifically to ask if somebody would do this!

It’s an ok home imo. It really needs a fishing spot. And it would be fantastic

@Unit117 that is actually a brilliant idea. You should please put that suggestion into the feedback thread on the PTS housing forum.

can someone take a picture of where this house is on the map, like where is the closest wayshrine to it, etc

I've added arrows to show the actual location of the house as well as its exit to the world which is at a distance because you arrive by boat. The entrance/exit is at the docks by the Morkul Stronghold, making Icy Shore Wayshrine the closest I believe.

I'm disappointed that the crescent longhouse has no door. Especially as you can't add one easily.

I had the same issue with the Exorcized Coven Cottage, but in that case, all the other instances of the structure are also without one. For the longhouse, the door does exist, e.g. at Morkul.

Yeah...I, too, was pretty disappointed that there wasn't a door, and it's treated as an exterior space. Rain is probably gonna fall in there on console. I think this issue was fixed on PC, as I only see console players complaining about rain falling inside exterior buildings.

Your videos make it much easier to visualize the space as you move through it. That said, I'm not fond of orc architecture, but I do like the setting of this one. I can see this being used as a small, basic guild hall since that's 1 less crafting station that would need to be provided.

Another issue that was pointed out on the PTS forum is that furnishings can poke through from interior to exterior, such as chandelier chains showing above the roof. That's annoying enough with multi-floor homes, where the first floor lights poke through the second (and sometimes light it up).
